DEERFIELD, Ill., May 16 (AP) -- Now, things could really get interesting.

The Chicago Bulls made a big statement when they routed Detroit 108-92 on Tuesday night, and the decibel level would jump again with a win Thursday night.

"At least we've made a series out of it,'' Bulls coach Scott Skiles said after Wednesday's film session.

After falling behind 3-0 to the Pistons, the Bulls will try to pull even when the Eastern Conference semifinal shifts back to Chicago for Game 6. No NBA team has won a best-of-seven series after dropping the first three games and only three have forced a Game 7 - the most recent being Portland against Dallas in the first round in 2003.

"They have some momentum right now,'' Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "They won in our building, shot the ball very well. We have to find a way to regain momentum. For us, the first quarter is going to be huge.''

Saunders really needs to coach these guys up for Game 6, because Chicago clearly has the momentum right now.

I am impressed with the baby Bulls, they can run the floor well...I liked the kid from LSU, Thomas that last game...they are hustling, blocking shots, forcing steals...I like to see new blood advance...

Nevertheless, Pistons showed to many weakneses and probably WILL lose to Cavaliers in Eastern finals

I second that. I have been waiting for this all season. I still have an upset stomach from last season. They would have won the seies if they could have rebounded the ball. They gave away too many chances. I am looking forward to changing that this year.
